copper question

tech1 · 03-31-2006, 10:15 AM

I was wondering if you treat in a quarantine tank with copper; once you transport the fish to the display tank, will the fish carry over the copper to the display tank? Does it absorb so much into their epithelium? thanks

You should wait to move the fish back into the display until you have removed the copper from the quaratine, at which point there is no concerns with the fish transporting it.
